It's Monday! What are you reading? 1-9-17

It's Monday! What are you reading? Is a wonderful community of readers, teachers, and librarians. Hosted by Jen over at Teach Mentor Texts along with Kellee and Ricki at Unleashing Readers, participants share their reading adventures from the past week along with their reading plans for the week ahead.

My Monday posts are generally just a highlight of what I've been reading
during the week so if you'd like to see all that I've been reading,
follow my Goodreads page.

Last week I read:The Story Diva and Flea by Mo Willems, illustrated by Tony DiTerlizziA sweet story of an
anxious, sheltered dog who befriends a vagabond cat. Flea helps Diva see
more of the world than just her small apartment courtyard and Diva
helps Flea to understand what it's like to have a loving, stable home.
By itself this story is already lovely and endearing, but set against
the elegant backdrop of Paris, it becomes quietly and unexpectedly
enchanting.

Picture books that stood out in the pile last week:Nanette's Baguetteby Mo WillemsWho knew so many things rhyme with baguette? A great book to read aloud, with a baguette to share of course. Triangle by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon KlassenAnother mischievous and thought-provoking yarn from dream team Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen.This one hits bookshelves in March.

Green Pants by Kenneth Kraegel Another Candlewick title to hit bookshelves in March. I have a full review of this one going live tomorrow.

Currently reading with my ears:Full of Beans by Jennifer L. Holm It feels so wonderful to be back in Key West with Beans and the Curry family. It feels like I'm putting on a favoriteold pair of jeans. Just happiness, love, and comfort.

I adored Full of Beans and was so happy to see how it ended. I really want to go to Key West!I cannot wait to see Triangle and Green Pants. I feel like I requested those, but I don't think it was in my pile of what they sent. I'll look forward to them soon enough!
